Praised by Gauricus, a writer who knew him, as a sculptor excellent in all media and as a painter, Severo was highly regarded in his lifetime but has long been neglected. Only recently have scholars begun to sort out the innumerable bronzes hitherto attributed to Bellano or Riccio or simply to the Paduan School. In the process they have come to suspect that a great many of these pieces actually were produced by Severo and his assistants. It has also grown obvious that a notable difference in quality distinguishes Severo
